Project Green

Project Green is a collaborative effort between Clemson University and SC-TAC (South Carolina Technical Aviation Center) to work on the conceptual design of a test track facility including infrastructure components which support R&D in the domain of clean transportation and advanced vehicle communication.

Eye Movement in Stereoscopic Displays

This project is designed to undertake an investigation of human eye movement within stereoscopic displays, with the goal of improving the perceptual effectiveness of these displays for visualization. The challenge and the opportunity for eye tracking in stereo displays is that both eyes can be tracked, yielding information on both gaze position on the screen and eye vergence. This will allow the estimation of where the subject is fixating in three dimensional space, not just in screen space.

Level-UP: Unveiling Programming

This project is devoted to the development and classroom evaluation of a new approach to the teaching of introductory programming. The two innovations supporting this premise will be the design and development of an introductory programming curriculum that exposes the student to a progressively more sophisticated set of programming paradigms, and a computing machine simulator that unveils the more complex models of machine structure required to support these paradigms.

Communicating Hurricane Information

Although the past 30 years have seen major advances in the scientific understanding of hurricane forecasting, there has been a lack of systematic research on the people’s comprehension of this weather information. To address these challenges, we are developing a formal model of hurricane evacuation decision making, examining the cognitive processes that are involved in hurricane tracking, so that we can suggest improvements in hurricane evacuation decision training and in hurricane information displays.
